Johana Duarte

I am Johana Duarte, I’m 28 years old, Venezuelan and into Social Communication. I have always been passionate about the why, when, and how of things. This has helped me in my career to show that everything happens for a reason and that we can achieve great things if we can answer those simple questions.
I was inspired by Uriji Jami’s ideal because it increases the quality of our interactions compared to different social networks. It is a tool to connect with people from around the world, and fulfill our potential because in Uriji Jami, "the life is your main asset."
As for me…I love my family, taking a nap with my dog, looking for the latest trend articles about marketing or the digital world. TED conferences are always a good watch.
In addition, I believe if we have a better understanding of the world and its people, we will enjoy all the more the little things of life.

Abraham Milano

I'm a 38 years old guy, born in Caracas, Venezuela, who is actually not very fond of big cities... too much polution, concrete and too many lights getting in the way of the night sky. During my childhood I used to climb to my house's roof just to see the stars at night. Curiosity, wonder and logical thinking are a very big part of me and that's what helped me make a living during my professional career. Since I graduated from college I've been working as a Web Application's Developer, mostly as a Consultant for Insurances Companies. But since 2012, I embraced back my entrepreneur and adventurer side by co-founding a very beautiful project in the field of arts and technology.
In essence, I'm a dreamer who usually feels attracted by unexpected and original projects and ideas and who is in a constant pursuit of making the world a better place, and that's why I felt in love with Uriji Jami...
